on 6/10/2008 For long trips I have one thing to say: CRUISE CONTROL. I frequently drive from Buffalo, NY to Ann Arbor, MI (through Canada), and before I used cruise control my car would use just about the whole tank. Now, my tank is half full by the time I get to Ann Arbor using cruise control :)

on 5/22/2008 "Some people say this doesn't work, but the numbers don't lie. When I divide actual gallons I put in my tank by miles driven, I consistently get 3-4 mpg better when I fill up around half a tank rather than waiting till empty."

I have also found this to be true. I've asked a few people as to why and got 2 good answers.
1) With a full tank, the weight of the gas pushing down helps to feed the fuel through the gas lines and thus, reduces the effort the fuel pump needs to exert. Sort of like a siphon...the highr the fuel level the less work needed to pump it to the engine.
2) evaporation. If the fuel is higher in the tank, near the narrow portion of the tank, there is less gas surface exposed to air and thus less gas is evaporated and vented as vapor. I did this esperiment with 10 fillups. I kept it above 3/4 tank full and then did 10 fillups keeping it less than 1/4 tank. The 3/4 full

on 2/27/2008 If you are considering ways to improve your gas mileage because you are shopping for a new car, you may consider a few more things. 1.) Make a mature decision based on your needs, not your wants. I knew a man who commuted with his hummer. He said it was a car payment a month for gas. That's the most rediculous thing I've ever heard. If you have a large family, consider an economical mini-van, or van-sports utility vehicles, as mentioned above, are always more wasteful. 2.) Buying a car is a compromise game. Try do find something new enough to be efficient, but not brand new, as you will waste $ on the lot prices. 3.) Gas mileage is more dependent on engine type than most other factors. If you are a more aggresive driver, try to get a smaller engine, so you wont be tempted with the power.

on 12/12/2007 (for the person who says driving with the tailgate down will save you money. That is not true. I have seen a couple of reports on the subject. Ford released a report and Mythbusters tested it a few times in each diffrent way. Tailgate up supprisingly gives you better MPG than tailgate down because with tailgate down you distroy the airflow behind the truck or something like that. Anyway they knew what they were doing when the designed them.

on 8/13/2007 nice tips dude, not to be mean but i love how americans created cars to commute in, then created the suburbs so they had somewhere to commute everyday and only now that the price of fuel has gone up every is in eco/wallet friendly mode. god bless your country. walking usually helps keep the fuel bill down too

on 8/10/2007 Lower the weight of the car, the bigger the MPG. Remove the trash from your trunk, and don't buy a 3-ton truck if you'll be alone in it.

on 6/12/2007 As far as not running the air conditioning, the exception is highway travel when running the AC is actually MORE efficient because there is less aerodynamic drag with the windows closed, and less drag = less fuel consumption.
